“Comedy & romance, hot chocolate and cake. What more do you want on a Sunday afternoon? “ “Please thank all the volunteers” Although 3 light due to illness we still had 13 fabulous Volunteers making light work of running Sunday’s showing of “About Time”. Thank you to John, Paula W, Mark […]
Many years ago I put together and ran a management training course at my company for junior IT managers who were potential high fliers based around some real life business scenarios. They’d come from all over the world and at the Friday night pre-course briefing session I’d warned them that […]
“An obviously great evening as ever. My usual real treat which keeps me going. But truly enhanced by such a wonderful choice of film and band.” Well that’s the first film of the year done and dusted, just 21 to go and it will be Christmas!!! Bo-Rap was deliberately chosen as the January film to […]
And so another year of cinema in Billericay comes to a close.

The audience included quite a few “first timers” who had read Delia Owens’ very popular 2018 novel and who wanted to see how the 2022 film told the tale; feedback […]
“Very enjoyable and scary !” As the first show of our 9th year it was a big night. Yes, we’ve completed 8 years of films – 154 of them now – and with a total audience across those years of 7,264. It’s our Volunteers who make these shows happen – so a big “thank you” […]
